Josua 18
1 Hele Israeliternes Menighed kom sammen i Silo, og de rejste Aabenbaringsteltet der, da de nu havde underlagt sig Landet.
And all the company of the sons of Israel are assembled [at] Shiloh, and they cause the tent of meeting to tabernacle there, and the land hath been subdued before them.
2 Men der var endnu syv Stammer tilbage af Israeliterne, som ikke havde faaet deres Arvelod tildelt.
And there are left among the sons of Israel who have not shared their inheritance, seven tribes,
3 Josua sagde derfor til Israeliterne: »Hvor længe vil I endnu nøle med at drage hen og tage det Land i Besiddelse, som HERREN, eders Fædres Gud, har givet eder?
and Joshua saith unto the sons of Israel, 'Till when are ye remiss to go in to possess the land which He hath given to you, Jehovah, God of your fathers?
4 Udse eder tre Mænd af hver Stamme, som jeg kan udsende; de skal gøre sig rede og drage Landet rundt og affatte en Beskrivelse derover til Brug ved Fastsættelsen af deres Arvelod og saa komme tilbage til mig.
Give for you three men for a tribe, and I send them, and they rise and go up and down through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance, and come in unto me,
5 De skal dele det i syv Dele; Juda skal beholde sit Omraade mod Syd og Josefs Slægt sit mod Nord.
and they have divided it into seven portions — Judah doth stay by its border on the south, and the house of Joseph do stay by their border on the north —
6 Og I skal saa affatte en Beskrivelse over Landet, delt i syv Dele, og bringe mig den; saa vil jeg kaste Lod for eder her for HERREN vor Guds Aasyn.
and ye describe the land [in] seven portions, and have brought [it] in unto me hither, and I have cast for you a lot here before Jehovah our God;
7 Thi Leviterne faar ingen Del iblandt eder, da HERRENS Præstedømme er deres Arvelod; og Gad, Ruben og Manasses halve Stamme har paa Jordans Østside faaet deres Arvelod, som HERRENS Tjener Moses gav dem!«
for there is no portion to the Levites in your midst, for the priesthood of Jehovah [is] their inheritance, and Gad, and Reuben, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses servant of Jehovah gave to them.'
8 Da begav Mændene sig paa Vej; og Josua bød de bortdragende affatte en Beskrivelse over Landet, idet han sagde: »Drag Landet rundt, affat en Beskrivelse over det og kom saa tilbage til mig; saa vil jeg kaste Lod for eder her for HERRENS Aasyn i Silo!«
And the men rise and go; and Joshua commandeth those who are going to describe the land, saying, 'Go, and walk up and down through the land, and describe it, and turn back unto me, and here I cast for you a lot before Jehovah in Shiloh.'
9 Saa begav, Mændene sig paa Vej og drog igennem Landet og affattede en Beskrivelse derover, By for By, i syv Dele; og derpaa kom de tilbage til Josua i Lejren ved Silo.
And the men go, and pass over through the land, and describe it by cities, in seven portions, on a book, and they come in unto Joshua, unto the camp, [at] Shiloh.
10 Men Josua kastede Lod for dem i Silo for HERRENS Aasyn og udskiftede der Landet til Israeliterne, Afdeling, for Afdeling.
And Joshua casteth for them a lot in Shiloh before Jehovah, and there Joshua apportioneth the land to the sons of Israel, according to their divisions.
11 Da faldt Loddet for Benjaminiternes Stamme efter deres Slægter; og det Omraade, der blev deres Lod, kom til at ligge mellem Judas og Josefs Sønner.
And a lot goeth up [for] the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, for their families; and the border of their lot goeth out between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.
12 Deres Nordgrænse begynder ved Jordan, og Grænsen strækker sig op til Bjergryggen norden for Jeriko og mod Vest op i Bjerglandet, saa den ender i Bet-Avens Ørken;
And the border is to them at the north side from the Jordan, and the border hath gone up unto the side of Jericho on the north, and gone up through the hill-country westward, and its outgoings have been at the wilderness of Beth-Aven;
13 derfra gaar Grænsen videre til Luz, til Bjergryggen sønden for Luz, det er Betel, og strækker sig ned til Atarot-Addar over Bjerget sønden for Nedre-Bet-Horon.
and the border hath gone over thence to Luz, unto the side of Luz (it [is] Beth-El) southward, and the border hath gone down [to] Atroth-Addar, by the hill that [is] on the south of the lower Beth-Horon;

And the south quarter [is] from the end of Kirjath-Jearim, and the border hath gone out westward, and gone out unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah;

and the border hath come down unto the extremity of the hill which [is] on the front of the valley of the son of Hinnom, which [is] in the valley of the Rephaim northward, and hath gone down the valley of Hinnom unto the side of Jebusi southward, and gone down [to] En-Rogel,

and passed over unto the side over-against Arabah northward, and gone down to Arabah;

and the border hath passed over unto the side of Beth-Hoglah northward, and the outgoings of the border have been unto the north bay of the salt sea, unto the south extremity of the Jordan; this [is] the south border;
20 Mod Øst danner Jordan Grænse. Det er Benjaminiternes Arvelod med dens Grænser efter deres Slægter.
and the Jordan doth border it at the east quarter; this [is] the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by its borders round about, for their families.
